The Fourth Generation eBook Chris von Halle

I loved this book. It's bleak setting and the harsh reality of the powers that be creating a stark reality for the common people give the story a chilling reality; almost hopeless existence for the underdogs, while the wealthy experience comfort and ease...a blatant disharmonious society where the majority are subject to cruel death at seventeen, never to live to see their children, no hope for a better, fairer life; it's all very dark, until the heroes risk all to challenge those in power. It's a powerful message of a world that could be, a reminder to be alert and apprehensive of false gods and empty promises.

The heroes stay real, come to believable conclusions that speak of hope and redemption, this book caught my attention from the first words. I highly recemmend it.

The Fourth Generation eBook Chris von Halle Reviews

I've given several four and five-star reviews lately, but the reason is because I've been very particular about what I choose to read. I found the blurb for Chris Von Halle's novel, The Fourth Generation, interesting, but I actually had no intention of reading the book. Then fate stepped in and I won a copy in one of his giveaways. Well, alllll righty, then, I guess I will just have to read the first few pages to see how it goes, then put it on my TBR pile, right below the six other books I *must* read on a deadline.

It was a good thought. 500 the next morning, I finished the book and started this review. Yes, I still have six other books that have DEADLINES on them, but The Fourth Generation was worth the quick detour. In the distant future, children live to be roughly seventeen years old before they die from the plague, a horrible, irreversible illness that has afflicted Earth for generations. It's simply the way things are. Or is it? Is the plague natural, or part of a more sinister, underlying plan?

The plot, characterization and especially world-building are very tight in this book, at least for the first three-quarters until the climactic scenes. Even at the end, the writing is tight; however, there is the strong sense that either the writer rushed the ending, making it somewhat 'pat' or clichéd, or that he suddenly remembered he was writing Young Adult fiction and couldn't write as intense or realistic a scene as was called for. Either way, the climax was slightly anticlimactic – at least for an adult reader.

I'm certain, though, kids 12 to 16 years of age will LOVE this book and will find none of the imperfections I noticed. As an adult reader, I would give this book four stars simply for its entertainment and "ok-just-one-more-paragraph" value. However, if I take the target audience into consideration (which one must ALWAYS do when reviewing, I believe), then the novel is clearly a five star read for Young Adults!

Fortunately, now that I know how this book ended, I can get back to WORK … unless there's a sequel coming out anytime soon?
Fun and different...I recommend.
Loved this wish it didn't end!!
This was an interesting book. It took a while to really understand the world the kids were living in, but once you're in, you are definitely in. The concept of everyone dying off at 17 is one that I thoroughly enjoy and the story moved along at a good clip, with lots of interesting events happening. Definitely recommend it.
The disturbing premise was highlighted by the revelation that the bad guy was 67 years old. As a 68-year-old, I found this disturbing. But the fact is that once you begin reading the book, you have to finish it. Von Halle's characterizations were very believable and his ability to generate suspense was outstanding. Good job!
